Contrary to what Bill O' Reily thinks, there are American Muslim soldiers out there fighting in Afganistan and Iraq (many of whome have died in combat... One of them got a Medal of Honour for protecting his comrades in 4:1 firefight) for the very constitutional rights that he thinks can easily be displaced because of rampant Islamophobia. Can he look those Muslim Soldiers in the eye and tell them that they have no right to practice their religion because of unwarrented fears?

I have my views against the building of the mosque but it statements such as these that tell me that Muslims should practice their constitutional rights openly.

Well, it's true that some muslims were responsible, but he's obviously trying to say that the muslim religion is guilty (considering they were talking about the mosque plans). That's where he's wrong.

I consider this type of rethoric particularly dangerous nowadays. Some people keep "conveniently" ignoring the fact that terrorists are fanatics and extremists, and they prefer to believe that it's all the same thing; it gives them an easier target to hate.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on this. OReily, like pretty much everyone on Fox are a few fries short of a happy meal, imo. I've met plenty of Muslims and they are far from terrorists.

Some Muslims are good, and some are bad. Just the same with any type of people, and we can't group them all together and act as if all the bad ones represent the good ones too.

And in shariah law, muslims are not allowed to attack another country unless that country first made the attack without any prior warning

The matter is that it is not him who gives excuses
things have to be applied from the proper point of view, which is not the imam's point of view or excuses, but by what the scriptures says since he considers himself a preacher and follows the law, which if ever true as you say, is total contradictory to the faith

The people responsible for 9/11 were Muslim extremists as far as I know and while he said it rather crassly he is saying what others are afraid to and whilst I don't agree it is obvious that people still link the Muslim religion to terrorism in America and this is the main opposition against the mosque.

O'Reilly's not a journalist. He's a commentator and an entertainer. Also he's an idiot who likes fighting with people and not giving them a chance to get a word in edge-wise.

But anyhow, regardless of whatever O'Reilly says, I think it's a legitimate concern to worry about what the imam's true agenda is. I don't trust this guy and I think he's up to something.

I have no problem with links to Wikipedia. I don’t think what he did really qualifies as making excuses, though. The idea that the 9/11 attacks were at least partially a result of US foreign politics during the 1980s is not exactly new and there are many christians sharing it.

“God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers.” (Quran 60:8)

The Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, used to prohibit soldiers from killing women and children,[1] and he would advise them: “...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.”[2] And he also said: “Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.”[3]

Also, the Prophet Muhammad has forbidden punishment with fire.[4]

He once listed murder as the second of the major sins,[5] and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, “The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed.[6]”[7]

Muslims are even encouraged to be kind to animals and are forbidden to hurt them. Once the Prophet Muhammad said: “A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth.”[8]

He also said that a man gave a very thirsty dog a drink, so God forgave his sins for this action. The Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, was asked, “Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?” He said: “There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.”[9]

Additionally, while taking the life of an animal for food, Muslims are commanded to do so in a manner that causes the least amount of fright and suffering possible. The Prophet Muhammad said: “When you slaughter an animal, do so in the best way. One should sharpen his knife to reduce the suffering of the animal.”[10]

In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.

[9] This saying of Muhammad has been mentioned in more detail on this page. Narrated in Saheeh Muslim, #2244, and Saheeh Al-Bukhari, #2466.

[10] Narrated in Saheeh Muslim, #1955, and Al-Tirmizi, #1409.

As a conclusion: For any who caused the terrorist trouble is away from Islam... Bill O Rielly know nothing about Muslim doesn't mean that he's saying the fact...

I think this is enough to give proof on Muslim are away of terrorists...

Hence the shift to the use of more optimized material is happening on its own WITHOUT forceful interference of enviro-gimps ;).

b) Unwarrented interference from anyone in the financial sector. At the same time, the population itself needs to learn how to manage its money PROPERLY.

c) Baseless fear mongering when it comes to the military.

Libertarianism takes a more moderate stance on goverment policies and supports conservative fiscal ideologies. Liberals support more left wing oriented policies and views.

My views and the examples that back them are backed by ACTUAL actions that are happening as well as to how they are being a negitive influence in the world in ACTUAL REAL TIME situations. I gave you my example with the Wind Turbines for instance... You have a real world Liberal moronic plan backfiring because of REAL WORLD restrictions (i.e. killing birds and not producing enough power.)

All you usually give me is "military is killing people." No... Militaries fight other militaries and try to cut down on civilian based casualties. I want you to give me a REAL world alternative to militaries that can ACTUALLY WORK to make sure we have global peace and security ;). I want ACTUAL EXAMPLES from YOU! I want you to give me a real world pragmatic solution of market control and how it can help people out.

Sure they do! But most companies actually take resposibility and have already equipped most of their smoke stacks with scrubbers and filters (again... REAL world example) without the interference of the government. Why? Because their shareholders demand it and its part of their mission statement. Most companies take the innitative without being FORCED into it and they end up setting a trend that other competitors usually have to follow (or they get left in the dust.) They don't need government environmental regulation to force em.

Again, these are REAL world examples... Not "could be" could be" "could be."

I might have missed your wind turbine thing, now I dont think the whole world shouodl only be wind powered, but it certainly is a good alternative to say, coal on the pollution aspect of things, it may not produce a lot of power, but it at least makes some without pollution. I also doubt many birds fly into them, so source or it doesnt happen :p Some alternative energies are quite effecient though, hydro power to be specific, Hydro power powers most of B.C. (granted latley power usage has went up, but theres always the possibility of building a new dam or say, solar/wind power to fill the gap) and if I'm not mistaken the Hoover dam in Nevada powers three states. there are some real world examples of how alternative clean energy can work well.

concerning military I think that we should focus more on peace and helpiong countries get on there feet, instead of sending in troops to kill the people taken advantage of in these situations. I know military does provide aid, but actual aid workers would be better for support, and concernign civilian cassulties, you can't honestly say militaries dont take their toll, (heroshima and Nagisaki come to mind) but aside from human cassulties, money is spent on military, a lot is which could go to say developement. of course theres also costs to repair damages caused by fighting as well... at any rate money should instead be spent on releif efforts, wars a lot of the time are starteed by a relativley poor country led by a malicouse person willing to exploit them, Hitler in Germany is an example.

also concerning your statment on forestry you gave a reason why it might be fased out, but I doubt that is the case, maybe over time but at this rate it's not going to happen if we just leave them be, something has to be done quickly and not just waited out. government funding for the things you mentioned would help bt danngle the apple-tree in front of the forestry companies and the'll cut it down. the forest needs to be protected and not ignored because "eventually it will be fased out".

Market control, without any control theres nothing to stop companies from taking all the mony for themselves, or at least theyre higher ups. saying money will trickle down is saying you trust them to pay employees more, instead of just taking monney for themselves. to put my veiw on market simply, without enoguh monney for consumers to buy things, compannies will make less money, pay their workers less, who can buy less, and so on. perhaps legislation to restrict how much percentage the owners of compannies take from prophits and how much go's to wage increases, bt I havent exactly planned a whole scheme or anything, but just a basic idea;)

And now I am going to point out where you went wrong ;).

I might have missed your wind turbine thing, now I dont think the whole world shouodl only be wind powered, but it certainly is a good alternative to say, coal on the pollution aspect of things, it may not produce a lot of power, but it at least makes some without pollution.

Offcourse I agree that coal plants need to be shut down. They are inefficient. But the libbie idiots have cut off a more cleaners (and in the long run, a more effective) alternative solution; Nuclear power. In the long run, Nuclear Waste that comes from the newly upgraded powerplants is actually recycle-able and is usually kept in storage until it can be used again to power up another reactor. except for plutonium-240 and -241, these recyclable isotopes have very long half-lives and they emit their radiation slowly--so slowly, in fact, that they can safely be handled with bare hands. But there is no need for the public to come into contact with any of these since they can be used immediately as nuclear fuel. Already in LWRs, plutonium transmuted from U-238 provides nearly a third of the generated electrical energy. Hydro power is a good alternative but its STILL not enough to manage demand. Last year we actually had to IMPORT energy from the U.S. because of overtaxed steam turbines in Ontario. It was a hefty price to pay... Which could have been easily displaced if we had a reactor.

concerning military I think that we should focus more on peace and helpiong countries get on there feet, instead of sending in troops to kill the people taken advantage of in these situations. I know military does provide aid, but actual aid workers would be better for support, and concernign civilian cassulties, you can't honestly say militaries dont take their toll, (heroshima and Nagisaki come to mind) but aside from human cassulties, money is spent on military, a lot is which could go to say developement. of course theres also costs to repair damages caused by fighting as well... at any rate money should instead be spent on releif efforts, wars a lot of the time are starteed by a relativley poor country led by a malicouse person willing to exploit them, Hitler in Germany is an example.

I have to say, your view of our military is so small minded... Its microscopic really ;). Have you forgotten all about our Military peacekeeping missions and the rebuilding processes we have taken in Bosnia? What about events where security IS needed and we failed to take action because of Liberal buffonary and idiocy for not taking action when they should? Case in Point: The Rwandan Genocide. General Romeo Dillare called it an "embarrasment" for Canada. Those people who were systematically killed were relying on Canadian peacekeepers to protect them... Which they failed to do because the Security Council couldn't get its butt off its seat and take action to support those poor people who certainly didn't deserve to die.

Security is very well part of nation building and we need our already overtaxed military to be better prepared for the situation. We already have so much depreciating equipment (the C17 rifles, the damned Sea Kings, the F/A-18s!) They are all falling apart! We need to upgrade them to give our troops the tools to do their jobs effectively.

also concerning your statment on forestry you gave a reason why it might be fased out, but I doubt that is the case, maybe over time but at this rate it's not going to happen if we just leave them be, something has to be done quickly and not just waited out. government funding for the things you mentioned would help bt danngle the apple-tree in front of the forestry companies and the'll cut it down. the forest needs to be protected and not ignored because "eventually it will be fased out".

I don't need to doubt it; Its already happening ;). We had a nation wide day of literature in Canada not too long ago and most of the publisher booths had e-readers stacked high near their cashiers. Most publishers are now planning on switching over most of their print material to digital form because of its popularity. If the trend contiues, pretty soon everyone is going to be using an e-reader. Natural market at work ;).

Market control, without any control theres nothing to stop companies from taking all the mony for themselves, or at least theyre higher ups. saying money will trickle down is saying you trust them to pay employees more, instead of just taking monney for themselves. to put my veiw on market simply, without enoguh monney for consumers to buy things, compannies will make less money, pay their workers less, who can buy less, and so on. perhaps legislation to restrict how much percentage the owners of compannies take from prophits and how much go's to wage increases, bt I havent exactly planned a whole scheme or anything, but just a basic idea;)

Bull. Shareholders are there to prevent them from pulling something like that out and shareholders happen to be people like you and me. You can always buy a share in a company and be part of a committee that decides as to what you want from the company and which direction do you want it to take. By most legal laws (nearly every capitalistic based society) your legal stake in your company is set when you buy a share and they can't legally envoke illegal share hording (or they will face prison time.)

Again the market wins ;).

I wouldnt see anyone getting entitled to a personal chocie/ attittude or whatever...

You'd be seeking facts...

Same goes to religion, as for whom to blame/ whether extremist muslims did this or not....

Lately I'm thinking that the real perpetrators of 11S are ourselves. Western civilization.

We have left so far behind our beliefs ...

The other day, watching the film they've done to TV on "The Pillars of the Earth (Ken Follett), I thought about it.

Before we build temples, cathedrals. These constructions uniting people into having something in common.
All In association on the same task. Build something that would improve their lives, bringing trade, wealth, etc. and also had the interest to be something that also fill the spirit and not only pockets.

Western society is now entirely given up to this task.
No more cathedrals were built. Now built nuclear power plants.
This means that in a globalized society such as ours, bring tensions and the balance needed by the people who still want to build cathedrals (in this case mosques).

Who said he was 'Islamaphobic'? I don't recall that. Everyone has their opinion. He's not saying you're responsible for it. Relax.

Yes, I agree. Muslims were responsible for 9/11. I'm not saying all people in the Muslim religion are extremists, unlike the ones that killed 2751 people that were murdered, and yes, murdered, because they were innocent. Building a moskau very close to ground zero, I think personally, is insulting. Like I said, I'm not saying all muslims are extremists, but for the people who lost loved ones and friends do not want to see something like that near there that even hint of what happened. Yes, people die, people live. For example, say my sister was killed by the hands of an extremeist, that just happens to be a muslim, I would not want something built, where she was killed, that represented anything like what happened to her. 'O Reily shouldn't of said it the way he did, but I think he was trying to get peoples' attention, and obviously, it did.

So bash me for my opinion, I haven't been nasty for theirs. So let's act like adults and talk. Not argue. Talk. It's just a discussion.

I really think it's only insulting if you choose to be insulted by it. Among the innocents who died in 9/11 there were Muslims as well as Christians, Jews or people with no professed religious affiliations. I think that by saying it is insulting, even in regard to the families of those who died who would be offended and reminded of their suffering, is to admit that there is something fundamental in Islam that encourages or condones or celebrates the deaths of people who are not Muslim. Which the majority of Muslims worldwide would not agree with at all.

Quite apart from the location of the mosque being some distance from Ground Zero itself, it is described as a cultural centre rather than strictly a place for worship. And even if it was strictly a mosque, there is no legitimate reason, particularly in regards to the US Constitution, that prevents it; in fact if any governing body, whether in NYC or federally made any move to prevent its being built, that action would be unconstitutional.

Like I said, I'm not saying all muslims are extremists, but for the people who lost loved ones and friends do not want to see something like that near there that even hint of what happened. Yes, people die, people live. For example, say my sister was killed by the hands of an extremeist, that just happens to be a muslim, I would not want something built, where she was killed, that represented anything like what happened to her. 'O Reily shouldn't of said it the way he did, but I think he was trying to get peoples' attention, and obviously, it did.

So bash me for my opinion, I haven't been nasty for theirs. So let's act like adults and talk. Not argue. Talk. It's just a discussion.

But also American did horrible things to Muslim countries... Do I have to blame England and America together just because they hold the same language od= English?! They did terrible things in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq this is SUFFER!! Signing up for the war in each of the country especially for Iraq just because of the gas that's completely innocent... If you really want to remember all the friends and families who had been killed in 9/11 had anybody of you just mentioned one woman's or boy's or girl's name that killed in Iraq?!!!

Again... I am not against of the idea if Al Ka3ida did it and Bin Laden is responsible for it but doesn't mean that its ISLAM.

There is a LONG different between Al Ka3ida and Muslim

Dolnik and others believe that, in many ways, the thing we refer to as 'al-Qaeda' is largely a creation of Western officials.

Maybe the name "Al-Qaeda" has been largely used in the media as a catch-all label for terrorist groups in general, but the terrorist groups still exist regardless of what they call themselves.

Yeah i know
But the article isvery interesting and makes you see how can one idea from one man just create lots and lots of new ideas and makes you see new things you did not even think of

As a muslim, what hurts me, is suppose al-qaedareally is a group of extremist muslims....
Muslims are the ones to stop them before anyone else...

This makes me sad,bcz, unfortunately, none is even trying it because the world has a huge war over muslims everywhere, and many modern muslims have put their religion behind for the daily affairs and pleasures :(

Um...most of your post didn't make any sense. I couldn't really follow to be perfectly honest. :confused:

I really think it's only insulting if you choose to be insulted by it. Among the innocents who died in 9/11 there were Muslims as well as Christians, Jews or people with no professed religious affiliations. I think that by saying it is insulting, even in regard to the families of those who died who would be offended and reminded of their suffering, is to admit that there is something fundamental in Islam that encourages or condones or celebrates the deaths of people who are not Muslim. Which the majority of Muslims worldwide would not agree with at all.

Quite apart from the location of the mosque being some distance from Ground Zero itself, it is described as a cultural centre rather than strictly a place for worship. And even if it was strictly a mosque, there is no legitimate reason, particularly in regards to the US Constitution, that prevents it; in fact if any governing body, whether in NYC or federally made any move to prevent its being built, that action would be unconstitutional.

Cultural center or worship place, it is a legitimate reason, constitutional or not. Okay, say someone who who killed someone in your family and they were a Christian. Would you honestly want anything built that was even related to the Christian belief or 'cultural center' built near where they died? If you didn't mind, that's very weird in my opinion. I actually knew people who's friends and family died there. Some of them are still recooperating from it, even though it was 9 years ago. It grieves me to know that a little boy is no an orphan because his parents were killed and is being raised by relatives he's not familiar with. How do you explain that to a 6 year old? Exactly. I have nothing against the muslim community and as I said before, and again since it was not highlighted, not all of them are extremist. And it was extremists who planned and killed over 2,500 people. If they want to build a mosque, fine. But not there. And as I said, it always seems that if someone has a contrary belief to others, that they are the bad guys.

But back to 'O Reily, yes he should of spoke better than he did. But I think his main intention was to get peoples' attention. He apparently did so with flying colors.

I am Muslim but I am not religious and when I saw that video I was just surprised at what that guy said. Wasn't it Osama bin Ladin who caused 9/11? :p

Also Alex Shepard, write Al Ka3ida "Al Kaida" in that way, the number/letters can only be understood by Arabians. ;) (It's just something people in the middle east use to be able to write Arabic in English.)

Would you honestly want anything built that was even related to the Christian belief or 'cultural center' built near where they died? If you didn't mind, that's very weird in my opinion.

That's so ridiculous. So the families of the 9/11 victims have the right to be offended by what's built in Lower Manhatten forever? Besides which, many of the families of the victims have said that they have nothing against or even welcome the building of Cordoba House. So it seems a lot of people are weird, in your opinion, even if others among them agree with you.

I have nothing against the muslim community and as I said before, and again since it was not highlighted, not all of them are extremist. And it was extremists who planned and killed over 2,500 people. If they want to build a mosque, fine. But not there.

If you don't want to be seen to say that all Muslims are extremists or terrorists, then don't have a problem with it. The mosque or cultural centre, whatever it is, is not a monument to the 9/11 terrorists, it is not a celebration of some kind of victory over the people who died.

Tragic as it is the thousands of people died there, their families do not now have a say in what can and cannot be built at Ground Zero, or three blocks from it.

Here's an article from August about the reactions of the 9/11 families. As you can see, quite a lot of disagreement between them.

Also a link to another Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, coming out with yet another Islamophobic comment this week.

Kilmeade: "Not every Muslim is an extremist, a terrorist, but every terrorist is a Muslim. You can't avoid that fact" (http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201010150027)

But technically he is right. He could've said it in a better way though.

this, he opened his mouth in the wrong way most of the time, it was obviously extremists who caused 911 to occur, just ones who

*observe Sharia Law
*obviously Follow Islam
*were trained to do it
*are losers

Of curse Israel has got its bloody hands in this

Just the way they are ruining Lebanon these days :mad: and trying to ignite a huge civil war which will never happen hopefully

true, Israeli Spies have been in Lebanon( i dont know since but presumably after the 2006 war), most have been captured, some are still there, and some have fled, but not all the spies are Jewish working for Israel though

not too sure about the civil war part, but i do hope hezbollah doesnt ignite with Lebanese affairs.:)
Listen just because you are Islamaphobic doesn't mean that I am ruining it ok?! :) Most of people are following (not my opinion) but facts but since you HATE muslims and you are brainwashed by Bill O Reily and you are on his side doesn't mean that I ruined it... I ruined your brain and mind for giving up the facts... If thats what you're talking about then its true :D

Ben isnt Islamophobic Khalid:)

this, especially, Lebanese( and the Arab World) can easily adapt to whats going on in the middle east, you just have to feel it:)

Yes, I agree. Muslims were responsible for 9/11.

Sigh.

If I rephrase that to - "(Insert some other religion) were responsible for 9/11.", what would the people of that religion think? Put yourself in Muslims shoes. Nobody condone the attack. The people you said were murdered, well some of them are also, Muslims.

The attack of 9/11 is not by Muslims. It is a terrorist attack. An extremist group. Don't let that cloud your gudgement by lumping 1.57 billion Muslims with that despicable group.

It's actually called Park51 now, not Cordoba House. They changed the name after people got offended that it would be named after a church that Muslims turned into a mosque when they conquered Spain.

You're welcome :) Park51 is the street address, so they're using it as a name for now (I assume they'll come up with a new name eventually). It looks like they actually are still using the name "Cordoba House" for the specific part of the building that will deal with "interfaith and religious component of the center" so I guess you weren't wrong in the first place :p But the whole building overall is now being called Park51.

Very good point. Even though the first amendment guarantees freedom of religion, that doesn't mean that people should throw common sense out of the window and ignore how other people feel about their actions. It's obvious that there's a lot of pain and tension surrounding ground zero, so I think that should be respected. Even if people have the freedom to do something, that doesn't mean that they should do it.

Wiki quoted several Muslim groups who are opposed to the mosque because they see it as an unnecessary provocation which is very insensitive to the victims of 9/11 and their families. I pretty much agree with what they said:
